FOXWELL NT809TS OBD2 Scan Tool Bi-Directional & 30 Service Resets - Full Review

[@andreik1775]

Thank you, Chuck! I am not in the market for a tool that you demoed but it was still very nice to watch your thorough analysis. One thing did not come across for me was which product did you like better? For some reason, I think it was the XTOOL, no?

[@PanzerPlatform]

Yo Andrei, Always a pleasure to have you for a visit. lol When it comes to product test & evaluations I really don’t like saying which one is “best” or which one I like better, because it all comes down to the specific application of the user, and of course their budget. So I try to remain impartial and just highlight to the Pro & Cons of each device so the viewer can make an informed decision. -Chuck

Hey, thanks for the shout out and the link to my video, Chuck! Another well put together video full of good information. These scan tools seem to keep getting better with every version they make. I agree, buying an update really does not make sense. Unless you're working on BRAND NEW cars all the time, there really is no need to have the most current software.... and by the time you really DO need the new updates, it will probably be time for new hardware, too. Just like our modern smart phones.... I try to keep mine as long as I can but usually I get two years out of a smartphone before it physically needs to be replaced for various reasons. Same would be true with a scan tool. Nothing lasts forever. And honestly, scan tool manufacturers want to sell new tools, not just software updates. And I suspect that is partially why updates are priced like they are.... to promote new scan tool sales. Good video, Sir! 🙂

Yo Brian, 6:41 I can't believe you made it that far into my boring Ben Stein monotone presentation, that's a real compliment coming from you. Lol To be completely honest I, “phoned this one in” and did not prepare as much research as I did on the IP819. I kinda just winged this one. Lol I’m still using my original iPhone SE 2016. That’s it resting on the steering wheel. But in 2021 Apple stopped support for curtain APPs, (including KZbin). So I begrudgingly bought the iPhone SE 2020 on black friday for $199 November 2021. Five months later, when Apple released the 3rd Gen iPhone SE my 2020 version started acting “buggy” Ahhhhhhhhhh! I still have an 80’s Sony Walkman, and Boombox that still work. Don’t get me started on consumer electronics going down hill since the Reagan Administration. Lol -Chuck

[@SlipFitGarage]

@@PanzerPlatform Of course.. I watched the entire video.I usually do.... I was growing up during the Reagan era and I'm pretty sure I have no consumer electronics that still function from the 80's. lolol. Like you mentioned, I think I also have an old Sony Walkman laying somewhere but I guarantee it doesn't work. It probably still has my sisters Beastie Boys Licensed To Ill cassette tape inside it. lolol

[@WJHandyDad]

did I blink and you hit 5k and almost 6k subs? Congrats!!

[@PanzerPlatform]

Yo Dandy, I don’t think they’re real humans. Lol KZbin is regularly sending me emails on how to Monetize my channel, and improve content with Creator Insider & Studio Tips. They want me to monetize so I will make more videos, and make them more money. Lol So there are giving me Fake Bot Subscribers to artificial inflate my analytics. Because my content, and production quality has been lame since day one, and I don’t see all these “new” subscribers in the comment section. Lol -Chuck

Chuck! how to connect or Re-learn the TPM Sensor of a different brand? You need to scan your scantool attach to the tire? Could you explain it? I have a Lexus CT200H 2016, I wanna re-learn the TPM sensor of this brand and dont wanna use the TPM sensor what's include the box, could you give a guide or deepdive how to approach this?

[@PanzerPlatform]

Yo At, Thanks for stopping in. You're better off emailing your question to Foxwell tech support. Their email address is in the description box. -Chuck

[@ECUDASHDIESELBIKOL]

Does Foxwell has Small Quantity learning or Small injection quantity learning?

[@PanzerPlatform]

I don't have this scan tool anymore. You can email tech support. That will be the first test of their customer service. -Chuck

[@comanchejr921]

Hey Chuck, does the foxwell activate evap solenoids

[@PanzerPlatform]

Hello, Every scan tool can only do what the manufacturer has allowed in their parameters. So it is different for every vehicle. You will have to email Foxwell tech support, and provide your VIN number for confirmation. Their email address is in the description box. -Chuck

[@WV591]

seems like NT809TS is direct competition to Autel MaxiPRO MP808TS

[@PanzerPlatform]

Yo Dub-V, Thanks for stopping in. The NT809TS is $415. The MP808TS is $960. My friend Brian just reviewed the Autel MP808Z-TS; kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5yvo2uoqtpjsNk -Chuck

[@frnkto69]

Hello, I'm confused because on Foxwell's website, they say this tool is able to do key programming, but you said it doesn't. Is it because it's been updated to do so, or is it just misleading information on their website? Thanks

[@PanzerPlatform]

Hello, This is a review of the FOXWELL NT809TS from December 2022. It's now September 2024. I just clicked my link in the description box, and it says it's currently unavailable. It looks like they released an upgrade model with a different model number. -Chuck

[@frnkto69]

Thanks a lot for you reply! I'm currently looking for a scan tool with Bi-directional capabilities that allows me to perform some deep scan and reset procedures on my Mercedes Benz e350, but I also own Ford, GM and Alfa Romeo, so a single brand tool is not an option. Considering I'm just a DIY enthusiast, and don't really need lots of special workshop level functions, which tools could you recommend that would fit what I need without braking my bank? There are so many brands and models, but maybe some suggestions could help me narrow down the list to choose one. This Foxwell is the most "advanced" I'm considering, definitely don't wat to spend 500$+. Sorry for the long text, and thanks again for your help!

[@PanzerPlatform]

@@frnkto69 “I also own Ford, GM and Alfa Romeo, so a single brand tool is not an option” This is simply not true. The whole reason OBD2 was implemented in 1996 was to standardize compatibility issues of OBD1. If your new to scan scan tools start here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmWkkH6GZdBjnqs If you own a Ford product the FORScan device for $20 is the “best” option. This is the “dealer level budget” scan tool I recommend for everything else; kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2fSpXurp86kla8

How do you take it out of military time?

[@PanzerPlatform]

Right on Chris, Thanks for stopping in, and the great question. You should be able to change the 24 Hour Clock (military time) to 12 Hour Clock (am/pm) in the tablet settings. You'll know when you're in tablet settings when the user interface looks like the standard Android menus. Let me know if you need more help. -Chuck

[@chris18228]

@@PanzerPlatform i’ve checked all the settings I even changed it to my time zone and yet it’s still in military time.

[@PanzerPlatform]

@@chris18228 Thanks for the confirmation. It looks like the scan tool might need a firmware update. All you need to do is send an email to FOXWELL customer service / tech support at [e-mail] Tell them you want the option to switch the 24 Hour Clock (military time) to 12 Hour Clock (am/pm). They should be able to do with their next batch of tool updates. It usually takes 24 hours to get a reply email, but their tech support just opened, so you should get a reply within the hour. This will be a test of their customer service. If they are unwilling, or unable to perform this simple task it may be an indicator of how they will respond to a more complicated issue like vehicle compatibility, or bi-directional test issues. If they don't treat you right, and you're within the Amazon 30-day return period I would say return it, and try a different scan tool company. -Chuck

@@chris18228 Thanks for the reply. Well there's your answer. I would say return for a full refund, and try a different brand of scan tool. -Chuck
